Thank you so much for the information, Byron. Incredibly helpful to finally get a solid answer on the lights. :) Apologies, I forgot to add the GH in my last post! My water is quite hard and alkaline, GH is around 150ppm, give or take a bit, and pH hardly drops below 8.0 I did notice that the...

Thank you for the reply, Byron. :) The bulbs are small, screw-in, incandescent I believe. This link shows a picture of what it looks like, I couldn't find much else on it: https://www.vetdepot.com/aqueon-incandescent-aquarium-lamp-bulb-colormax-15-watt.html I've had tons of different plants...

Hello, Lighting is one thing that I've always struggled with. It seems that I just can't get it right! I would really appreciate some guidance regarding lighting in one of my tanks, so hopefully I won't have to go through these troubles again. About a year ago, I set up a 10 gallon heavily...

A better picture would be helpful, but if I had to guess, I would say the albino variant of a giant danio.

I did not see that! Thank you for the update picture! He's quite a stunner. :) I'm so happy to hear of Tasha's incredible story as well. We're saving the world, one animal at a time. :)

When I try to submit my pictures, I get an error message saying they are too large. Is there a way I can fix this?

So sorry to hear of your troubles. :( Fishkeeping is filled with ups and downs, sometimes, one outweighs the other. In just a matter of weeks I had lost half a dozen of my most beloved aquatic beauties, with absolutely no explanation as to why. I felt absolutely defeated that I could not find...

It sure is, but I wouldn't trade him for the world. Caring for rescues is defiantly one of the most rewarding experiences I've had. It's an amazing feeling knowing that you've made a difference in their life. Micah was priced at $20 (which I was later able to bring down to $8 due to his "low...

Hello, Could I submit a photo I took a couple months ago, and a more recent verification picture? Would this be an issue? Sorry, new here!

Hi, Is there a way to receive notifications on topics that I've posted on? Email? I can't seem to find an option that allows this. Thanks :)

I actually have to use tweezers to hand feed Micah flakes. Pellets have too small of a surface area for him to pinpoint, so he just ends up pushing them around with his nose. He can sometimes find food that's resting on the bottom, especially if he can smell it, like bloodworms and the snails'...

Goldfish are not beginner fish. Plain and simple. I actually would not recommend livebearers for beginners either. Sure, they're cheap, colorful and readily available, but poor breading has left these fish with horribly compromised immune systems and terrible genetics overall. Unless you get...

Hello, It looks like your fry are developing nicely, and you are caring for them quite well. But along with water quality and feeding, you must also take info account the amount of space the fish have, in order for them to develop properly. Believe it or not, keeping fish in breeder nets or...

Love to hear rescue stories like this. :) My house is filled with rescued animals of all shapes and sizes, including a blind betta. He too would have perished inside a cold, torturous cup. The water he was living in was polluted with uneaten pellets that the shop had carelessly tossed in for...

I do appreciate the advice, however I'm really not looking to have a tank packed to the brim with cories and rasboras. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was not able to keep the "ideal" number of fish in the tank. I had took the tank in with two harlequin rasboras, the bronchis splendens, oto...
